Dr. Tommy John on Maximizing Potential And Minimizing Injury

On Tuesday’s Ten-Minute (ish) Topic we discussed the epidemic rise of youth sports injuries and what parents need to be thinking about and doing to protect our kids. We were joined by Dr. Tommy John, who has dedicated his life’s work to helping young athletes with performance and injury prevention.
